Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for providing sets of compatible firmware versions (e.g., cross-compatibility solution) for flashing (e.g., programming or re-programming) different devices of a network of devices (e.g., an industrial automation system) when using a flashing application. Providing the compatible firmware versions of such network of devices may facilitate flashing the devices with compatible firmware, based on a topology of the network of devices, to prevent functional errors in the network of devices. The present systems and methods may also be applicable to determining and providing cross-compatibility solution between different firmware, as well as software, used by different devices of a network of devices. That said, although embodiments described herein are with respect to providing sets of compatible firmware versions for firmware associated with devices of a network, it should be appreciated that similar systems and methods may provide sets of compatible software versions associated with various devices of a network.

Abstract: A method for updating firmware within an industrial automation environment comprising a plurality of industrial components is provided. The method includes providing an industrial system firmware update menu from an update server to a user through a web interface within an application running on a user device, and receiving one or more selections of the industrial system firmware update menu from the user through the web interface. The method also includes processing the one or more selections of the industrial system firmware update menu to determine required firmware update files and a firmware update schedule, and transferring the required firmware update files to the industrial components in an order specified by the firmware update schedule.
